Who makes a grid-connect wind turbine async controller that plugs into an outlet that doesn’t use an inverter?

I have asynchronous motors from washing machines, etc. that I can connect to vertical axis wind turbines. I am looking for a device that would sync the generator to the USA grid by allowing me to plug it into an electric outlet in my home, 20-50 AMP. Since the generator is an induction device, if the grid goes down, then the generator stops generating, which is what I want. By syncing to the grid I can avoid the cost of an inverter and not require batteries. This would allow my netmeter to reduce my energy cost. Do you know who makes these interconnection devices?

If the generator is a conventional ’squirrel-cage induction machine’, then it can simply be plugged into the grid. No controller is required – as long as the turbine causes the machine to rotate faster than its inherent synchronous speed, it will generate.

And you are generally correct that if the grid goes down, a machine of this sort will stop generating. Induction machines must be connected to a grid that can supply reactive power in order for them to function as generators. There is a possibility that if the grid is down and the turbine continues to rotate, an induction generator can sustain an open circuit voltage provided there is no load – this is an unlikely situation, but it is something that the grid supplier will worry about.

However, you local utility supplier will require some sort of protective device at the interface to protect their workers from potential harm and also to protect systems and equipment belonging to other consumers from problems associated with your wind generator. So the question you really should be asking is what kind of protective device must you supply – and only your local electrical distribution company can answer that question since it pertains to their policy. In most cases, they will direct you to a preapproved supplier of the required device.

One company that makes this kind of equipment is Beckwith Electric.

Which states have laws requiring boaters to clean off plant matter?

I know Maine does, and it looks like Ohio, but what other states have passed laws to institute safeguards against the spread of water plants from one site to another?

I know that Minnesota and Wisconsin, and North and South Dakota have such laws.
